Bring your own bread. The Company Shed has a license and are able to provide alcoholic and soft beverages, however you may still bring your own wine if you so wish.
You cannot book, so it is on a first come, first served basis. If The Shed is full, you can have your name placed in the queue and you will be given a rough estimate of how long your wait may be. We recommend getting there before 12.00pm at weekends and in the summer months to ensure you will be able to get in at all.
